In a reporting period from July 2005 through June 2008, Bellin Hospital in Green Bay, is the only area hospital to be ranked BETTER than the US National rate in mortality (death) after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI or heart attack). See this link:  http://tinyurl.com/l6dhxx 

 
 
What this means to you? You have a better chance of surviving your heart attack by coming to Bellin Hospital. Tell the EMS (ambulance) that you want to come to Bellin to receive this top notch care.
 
Bellin Hospital is consistently able to get people, just like you, into the cardiac cath lab in less than 60 minutes to open up a blocked artery. The National Goal, is within 90 minutes. The median door to balloon time for the second quarter in 2009, was only 49 minutes at Bellin. Working with EMS, Bellin is able to achieve this fast time, and save lives.  See this hospital comparison: http://tinyurl.com/ml2x2a
